A jeering crowd shouts as two gamecocks battle it out in the arena of a cockfight in Sam Roi Yod, Thailand. Fishing cats are often killed out of revenge for predation on chickens. The anger is not over a loss of food, but the loss of prizefighting game cocks. Cockfighting is a popular sport in rural Thailand, and these chickens can fetch anywhere between a few thousand to a million bhat in extreme cases depending on where and how good they fight, said one cockfight participant.
